HAVING just returned from a quick visit to Moreton and having read in the Journal about the new surgery premises opening next month in Moreton I could not believe the ugliness of the new building and I am amazed at the planning people allowing it to be built.

Moreton is a beautiful place, full of wonderful and interesting buildings, and the new hospital has a certain grace about it, but this new building is like a wart on the landscape.

I am sure the interiors are marvellous and it will be an advantage to patients having to visit, although the additional cars coming out on to the Fosseway will be a nightmare.

I think the planners need to go to Specsavers!
